Glass is no longer just a transparent material used for windows or windshields. Today, advanced glass can improve safety, control heat, reduce noise, enhance privacy and contribute to energy-efficient buildings.

This changing role of glass has encouraged glass companies to develop specialised solutions for homes, commercial spaces, automobiles and industries.

Many integrated glass solutions companies offer products that combine modern manufacturing and processing technologies with application-specific performance, and Asahi India Glass Ltd. (AIS) is one such brand.

AIS follows an integrated approach that covers different stages of glass production and use. Their capabilities span manufacturing and processing, fabrication, and installation.

Their portfolio includes both standard glass products and advanced solutions developed for specific requirements such as thermal comfort, safety, privacy and acoustic performance.

Different applications require different types of glass. AIS provides glass products for architectural, automotive, consumer and industrial requirements.

Modern buildings increasingly use glass for façades, windows, partitions, doors and interiors. However, the right glass needs to offer more than visual appeal.

Their AIS Ecosense and AIS Opal range, for example, includes high-performance energy-efficient glass designed to manage solar heat while allowing natural light into a building.

Such solutions can help architects and developers balance daylight, indoor comfort, energy performance and design.

Automotive glass plays an important role in passenger safety, visibility and comfort.

AIS manufactures glass products such as laminated windshields, tempered side and rear glass, sunroof glass and several value-added automotive glazing solutions. Their portfolio also includes technologies developed for modern vehicles, including:

These technologies support the growing need for safer, quieter and more technology-enabled vehicles.

AIS also provides direct consumer glass solutions and products like uPVC and aluminium doors and windows solution for residential and commercial applications via their brand AIS Windows. They also have a large market share with AIS Windshield Experts, in automotive aftermarket car glass repair and replacement category.
